Default WOW first time out in my car in over 4 years

Just wanted to shear my happynes with you guys

We managed to get a base map to 1,4bar with a WERY safe ignition map just to be sure nothing got wrong and the car went actually pretty fast
This was 2 days before the event so dident get to much testing in the car before i went over there(no launches at all)

Well to get a wery long story short i managed a 13,1sec @ 176km/h in a full weight escos with a big stereo and comp mo`s, 60-fot was 2,1sec and had NO boost in 1. gear as the launch control was´nt set up yet, pretty happy with that as i havent launched the car in over 4 years
Over there i was thinking that it dident go as well as when we did the mapping but couldent find anything wrong until i got home, the piping from the i/c to the plenum was half way off

Have sorted that now, just about to do the final mapping to 2,2bar and then it´s of to try again and some better times, wish me luck

Thanx m8

Max boost is arround 2,2bar as i´m still on a 3bar mapsensor, but i hope it should se arround 600 bhp on that tho.
Engine spec should se more but am a bit konservative about that just now
